Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
This movie is excruciatingly dumb.

rotten:
With all the preening, posing and stretching, it's hard to know if The Specialist is an action movie or an exercise video.

rotten:
The Specialist is one of those films that forces the characters through torturous mazes of dialogue and action, to explain a plot that is so unlikely it's not worth the effort.

rotten:
This movie is a stinker in every way, from the one-dimensional acting to the idiot dialogue to the surprisingly monotonous storyline.
